Review: David Gilmour – Live In Gdansk [2008]
When I was in the 5th grade, my uncle dropped eight unopened cassette tapes on my desk. “These tapes are more important than you may ever know,” he said. “Uh, ok.

Tuscon, AZ post-hardcore troupe Beyond the Citadel of Coup de Grace pour all of the emotion they can muster into their latest five-track sojourn Bang! The Whiskey Mask. Providing a dizzying array of stylistic mash-ups, erratic vocal patterns and tones that give songs like “Six Led One” multiple personality disorder galore, and verbose lyrics that […]
Review: 1997 – On The Run [2008]
Chicago-based rock troupe 1997 employ a male-female vocal dynamic which allows their latest album On The Run to reach soaring emotional depths and heights.

Review: Elysia – Lion Of Judas [2008]
Sacramento, CA metalcore troupe Elysia demonstrates how well their jaded viewpoints meet with abrasive dissonance on the aggressive nine-track disc Lion of Judas.
